grin NCR - Gatti vs. Leija Fight grin

Below is a summary of last night's fight. Richard Meyer won the $5 "Testicle Festival" chip, and David Spragg took the under with me in a side bet and walked away with another $5 chip. As usual, my prediction was off. I did pick Gatti to win, but thought it would go later with cuts involved. Oh, well. Thanks to everyone who played.

WBC super lightweight champion Arturo "Thunder" Gatti set up a likely summer pay-per-view showdown with Floyd Mayweather with a fifth round knockout over "Jesse" James Leija Saturday night at Bally's Atlantic City. Gatti came out boxing, resisting Leija's attempts to draw him into a brawl. That is until round five, when Gatti suddenly floored Leija with a straight right. Leija got up dazed and fought back gamely, but Gatti unloaded with a barrage of hard shots, dropping Leija again with a left hook. The 38-year-old Leija was counted out by referee Earl Brown at 1:48.
